Reading the Past

Hello and welcome! This is Reading the Past with Dr Kat. I'm a researcher and lecturer specialising in early modern literature and culture.

I think history is pretty brilliant, but I also know that sometimes the best bits get left out. So on this channel, we're going to look at the blood, guts and gore; the plays, passions and power struggles; but we're also going to find answers for questions you never even knew you wanted answers to. Questions like "Why is Shakespeare like the Kardashians?"

So buckle up and enjoy the ride because history is weird!

Unless there is some unforeseen setback, I will upload videos to this channel every Friday at 4pm GMT - please subscribe and click the bell icon so that YouTube will notify you when a new video goes live.
